The HPFOREST Procedure

INPUT Statement

INPUT variables <options>;

The INPUT statement names input variables with common options. The INPUT statement can be repeated. You can specify the following options:

LEVEL=level

specifies the level of measurement of the variables. Accepted values of level are: BINARY, NOMINAL, ORDINAL, and INTERVAL. Specifying BINARY is the same as specifying NOMINAL.

ORDER=order

specifies the sorting order of the values of an ordinal input variable. Table 7.1 provides recognized values of order.

Table 7.1: ORDER= Option Values

Value of ORDER=	Variable Values Sorted By
ASCENDING	Ascending order of unformatted values (default)
ASCFORMATTED	Ascending order of formatted values
DESCENDING	Descending order of unformatted values
DESFORMATTED	Descending order of formatted values
DSORDER	Order of appearance in the input data set

The DSORDER sort option is not supported for input data sets stored on the SAS appliance.
